List of alphas capable of entering boss arenas!
I made this post looking for a compiled list of alpha dinosaurs capable of entering the arenas before I realized that this information was viewable through the creature guide. I decided to compile which were able to enter and I'm just going to overwrite this post with the information so people can look to this for help in the future, of course the creature guide has more in depth information regarding the tribesmen that can enter but this is something I've also seen a few people ask for, so for those curious:

Alphas capable of entering all Arenas:

Alpha Ankylosaurus
Alpha Baryonyx
Alpha Carnotaurus
Alpha Daeodon
Alpha Dilophosaurus
Alpha Direbear
Alpha Direwolf
Alpha Iguanodo
Alpha Kaprosuchus
Alpha Mantis
Alpha Parasaur
Alpha Purlovia
Alpha Raptor
Alpha Sabertooth
Alpha Sarcosuchus
Alpha Thornydragon
Alpha Terrorbird
Alpha Triceratops

Alphas restricted to Manticore arena only:

Alpha Argentavis
Alpha Pteranodon


For more information about other creatures capable of entering (that are not alpha) use this link here[docs.google.com] for any questions you may have regarding this.

Hope this helps people and good luck in the arenas!

Hey, I'm making a list right now for everyone so I'll get back to you with what's allowed as per the creature guide. I didn't realize it had arena access written on the left side so once I compile each dino capable of entering I'll post it here so people can use it as a reference.

Added to the list: Alpha Daeodon!

Great for tanking and healing your other dinos and attacking. Just used it in the dragon and broodmother arenas, so it should be capable of entering all due to it's lower drag weight.

Out of the alphas, I personally prefer the Anky and Daeodon.

The Direbear and Carno are great too for their damage. I personally prefer running max level rexes (or close to max on the server) with an Anky, which tanks a lot of damage and torpor but also comes with a pretty impressive attack. If you get a Daeodon with a good saddle (I have a primal saddle) you can heal your dinos while attacking and you'll wipe the arena bosses pretty fast. So if you can find a high level alpha anky I'd recommend getting one, they're great.

Here's a challenge. List which alphas you can use weapons from the back of. It's not the same as the normal ones - no guns on alpha mantis-but you can use guns on normal mantis.

The only one that I know of off the top of my head is the Thylacoleo. If you want though, I can make a section of alpha creatures that allow you to wield weapons when you're mounted. I can't do it tonight but tomorrow I'll definitely take some time out to make it if it's wanted.
